More about this artwork
The painting presents a bold, expressive portrayal of a figure, deeply immersed in vibrant colors and rough textures. Dominated by shades of blue, green, red, and hints of yellow, the canvas depicts a side profile of a person, whose features are abstractly rendered with sweeping, dynamic brushstrokes. The individual's face, highlighted with pink and orange, contrasts with the dark blues and blacks that suggest hair and perhaps shadowed or background elements. An interpretation of a shoulder and perhaps a glimpse of a garment are visible in lighter tones, introducing a sense of depth and form amidst the swirling colors around the figure.

Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist. Kandinsky is generally credited as the pioneer of abstract art. Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his childhood in Odessa, where he graduated at Grekov Odessa Art school. He enrolled at the University of Moscow, studying law and economics. Successful in his profession—he was offered a professorship (chair of Roman Law) at the University of Dorpat today Tartu, Estonia)—Kandinsky began painting studies (life-drawing, sketching and anatomy) at the age of 30.
